A Beautiful Life
by William M. Golden, 1918
- Each day I’ll do a golden deed,
By helping those who
are in need;
My life on earth is but a span,
And so I’ll do the
best I can.
- Refrain:
Life’s
evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days, and I must go
To
meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting
sun.
- To be a child of God each day,
My light must shine along the
way;
I’ll sing His praise while ages roll,
And strive to help some
troubled soul.
- Refrain:
Life’s
evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days, and I must go
To
meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting
sun.
- The only life that will endure,
Is one that’s kind and good and
pure;
And so for God I’ll take my stand,
Each day I’ll lend a
helping hand.
- Refrain:
Life’s
evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days, and I must go
To
meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting
sun.
- I’ll help someone in time of need,
And journey on with rapid
speed;
I’ll help the sick and poor and weak,
And words of kindness
to them speak.
- Refrain:
Life’s
evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days, and I must go
To
meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting
sun.
- While going down life’s weary road,
I’ll try to lift some
trav’ler’s load;
I’ll try to turn the night to day,
Make flowers
bloom along the way.
- Refrain:
Life’s
evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days, and I must go
To
meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting
sun.
